If you’re looking for a road trip packed with unique sights and South African charm, Route 62 is your answer. Stretching from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, this legendary route is often referred to as the longest wine route in the world. But it’s not just the wine that makes it famous—hidden gems like Ronnie’s Sex Shop turn this scenic drive into an unforgettable adventure.

Route 62 winds through the Western Cape and Klein Karoo, offering dramatic landscapes of mountain ranges, farmlands, and quaint villages. It’s less crowded than the N2 highway, which makes it perfect for overlanders and those seeking a more peaceful, picturesque journey. Along the way, you’ll encounter historic towns like Montagu, Calitzdorp, and Oudtshoorn, known for their warm hospitality, local cuisine, and impressive scenery.

Nestled on Route 62 between Barrydale and Ladismith, Ronnie’s Sex Shop is one of South Africa’s most unusual and legendary pit stops. Despite the suggestive name, it’s not actually a sex shop, but rather a quirky, unpretentious bar with a story that adds to its charm. Originally, Ronnie painted the words “Ronnie’s Shop” on the side of his building with the intention of opening a farm stall. His friends, as a prank, added “Sex” to the name—and the rest is history.

What started as a joke turned into an iconic stopover for travelers, bikers, and overlanders. Today, Ronnie’s is filled with character: bras hanging from the ceiling, walls covered in graffiti, and a crowd of friendly locals and tourists enjoying cold drinks in the middle of the Karoo desert.

If you’re seeking adventure, Route 62 and Ronnie’s Sex Shop offer a mix of beauty, culture, and oddity, making your journey through South Africa truly unforgettable.
